Cops and Courts: Dec. 31, 2012

A driver found with a gunshot wound to his head at a Freedom Boulevard intersection Saturday afternoon has died, police said Sunday.

The 23-year-old Watsonville man was sitting in a white Cadillac sedan on northbound Freedom Boulevard at Airport Boulevard about 12:45 p.m. when another driver flagged down firefighters who were in the area because the Cadillac had not moved for several signal rotations, police said.

Authorities found a man slumped over the wheel with a handgun in his lap, Sgt. Henry Robles said.

He was flown to a Santa Clara County trauma center with life-threatening injuries, Robles said.
